Hungary and Slovakia paid Kyiv for the resumption of oil transit from Russia through Ukraine

53

The Slovak company Slovnaft, which owns an oil refinery, transferred transit fees for pumping crude oil through the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline. The payment was received by the Ukrainian company responsible for transporting the oil.

This was reported to the Interfax agency by the management of the refinery from Slovakia.



Shortly before this, the Hungarian company MOL, operating in the oil and gas industry, reported that they paid Ukrainian representatives for transit services. Thus, both Hungary and Slovakia paid Kyiv for the resumption of oil transit through Ukraine.

The Ukrainian side responded positively to the proposal of Slovnaft and MOL to pay transit costs for oil supplies via the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline

- reported the Slovak TV channel TA3, referring to the representative of the refinery Anton Molner.

The Russian company Transneft also approved this decision, so there are no more obstacles to resuming traffic. They confirmed that the funds from Hungary and Slovakia were received by the Ukrainian operator, so transit is being launched today.

Earlier, on August 4, the Russian operator stopped transportation, because due to sanctions it was technically unable to transfer funds to Kyiv for transit.

Crisis phenomena are now observed in the world energy sector, which are most acutely manifested in the EU countries. And the sanctions imposed by the European Union against Russia only exacerbate this problem.

            To buy Russian oil for rubles, you must first sell Hungarian goods to Russia for rubles.
            And so: the Hungarians simply change their candy wrappers for our oil rubles in our bank, so the Hungarians will not be able to steal them from us.

              To buy Russian oil for rubles

              everything is simpler - we have a postpaid system
              Hungary and Slovakia signed an agreement - I receive our oil for a month - then payment
              they transfer euros or dollars to their current account in the Russian Federation - they buy rubles at the Central Bank rate - and pay for oil
              NO any Hungarian goods - sanctions same (!)

                Hence the reasonable question - well, they sold it to someone on the exchange. Who, what to do with it? Ultimately, you need someone to accept a payment in euros and dollars in a foreign bank, that is, to buy something with these euros. And still bought to deliver - but with this there are specific problems. These euros are not needed on the stock exchange. Real oil is sold for virtual numbers on the account, for beads

                    Exactly. Payment in euros, trading on the stock exchange, rubles = Gazprom (for example). Only after this payment under the contract is considered fulfilled. Who bought these euros, why, got - did not get with these euros, the same Gazprom in FIG.

                    You do not understand the mechanism of the exchange at all.
                    1) Hungary transfers euros to the Moscow office. Account in a Russian bank. From this moment, payment is considered made
                    2) The representative office instructs (according to the same decree) to sell all euros on the Moscow Exchange. He does not care at all about the selling rate - the current euro rate and that's it. Thus, the amount in rubles is floating, and in euros - a fix. The received rubles (not a fixed amount, but determined at the exchange rate) are transferred to the account of the energy supplier
                    3) The price of the euro is formed exclusively by import trading operations. The Central Bank does not have the ability to influence the course - the funds are arrested.
                    4) And now a feint with your ears - who needs these euros? Taking into account the fact that banks under sanctions and their correspondent accounts have been arrested? For those who are not in the know - this means that they cannot conduct transactions in euros, including sending abroad on importers' payment orders
                    5) It turns out that importers do not really need this currency either - it cannot be sent abroad as payment. So who is buying it? And no one - that's why the course sank to such an abnormal
                    6) So it turns out - they send us the euro, which enters the country, but practically nothing can be done with it - it is not accepted anywhere. These are beads, glass beads, which have a relative value only on the Moscow Exchange and nowhere else. And if everything goes at such a pace, then the exchange rate will continue to fall until it drops to the level that there will be nothing to pay oil workers' salaries (in rubles)
                    Now, if yuan or rupees were sent - another story

                        Yes? Well, call, ask, say, Sberbank, PSB, VTB or any other more or less large bank - is it possible to send a transfer in euros somewhere abroad. The answer will be amazing. The fact that half the world buys euros does not mean that these euros can be SENT from the Russian Federation. Familiarize yourself with such a concept as a "correspondent account" and why it is needed
                        Or are you confusing it with cash euro? Well, no one carries them in containers. And yes, the sale of cash euros in the Russian Federation has been banned by EU sanctions since March, so they have nowhere to come from

                        the same Gazprom bank can transfer euros, and any other can also send it not via swift, for example, through China

                        Once again - this requires a correspondent account and swift has absolutely nothing to do with it. Moreover, Gazprombank has permission to transfer only within the energy sector. But all this is only half the problem. The second half - that this transfer would be accepted, and the goods sent. For example, as in this very article - today they returned the transfer of that same Gazprom for oil transit (although formally this is allowed by a special notice). The receiving bank (in almost any country, even in China) examines ANY incoming payment from the Russian Federation under a microscope for sanctions, sometimes for months. And even if all of a sudden everything will be carried out, the logistics remain. There is no corny transport capacity, since international transport workers work very poorly with us, if they work at all. All this in general puts imports under a huge question, and if so, then the demand for foreign currency from importers is minimal

                        I didn't say there was nothing, I said that sending money in euros is almost impossible. In US dollars (YET!) is possible, albeit with great difficulty, but no one can guarantee this even for the next day. And that is why wild commissions are introduced for storing currency on the account. In my bank -12% per annum

        No. We were not given the whole delivery mechanism. Most likely, Russia will receive less payment for the cost of transit + bank interest. So, simply, the sanctions were bypassed and that's it.

                Exactly! Here is an important point - who owns the ruble account. As we were told, both accounts (Ruble and Euro) are opened by the Buyer, i.e. payment from the ruble account goes from the Buyer to the Supplier (Gazprom), and the bank here only offers its services.
